What a sad state of affairs we now see due to the non elite Trump and Farage.

Aid cut and arms budget increased.

Going great isn't it!

'kin 'ell chid you're awful fond of writing an essay full of ******.

how much time and interest do you think i have? 😂

i'll quote one sentence (as that is all i need)

on immigration...

'they will do anything and anything to ensure the 'numbers' of such only rise, be it directly, funding such to breed to have a massive population to force up rents, land prices and property prices, which the 'elite' gain from'

you think trump and farage with their billionaire backers are somehow not part of that 'elite' you refer to?

Would you care to try that again in plain English?

I suppose Farage's hero Trump's US siding with Russia, Belarus and North Korea at the UN was just part of a smear campaign...

Yet ANOTHER member of the Brexit campaign found to be in the pocket of Russia.

Ever get the feeling YOU'VE BEEN HAD!

The former leader of Reform UK in Wales appeared in court today accused of accepting bribes in exchange for making favourable statements about Russia.

Nathan Gill is charged with eight counts of bribery and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery connected to his time as an MEP.

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard Gill allegedly made statements in the European Parliament and in opinion pieces to news outlets, such as 112 Ukraine, which were 'supportive of a particular narrative' which would 'benefit Russia regarding events in Ukraine'.

The defendant is alleged to have been tasked by Oleg Voloshyn on at least eight occasions to make specific statements in return for money.

The conspiracy to commit bribery charge alleges Gill conspired with Voloshyn and 'others' between January 1 2018 and February 1 2020, and that he accepted 'quantities of money in cash' which was 'improper performance by him of his function or activity as the holder' of a position in the European Parliament.

Some serious buys these last couple of days alone.

You can't even spell argument let alone win one FFS! 😂

John Wood Group just popped around 39% this afternoon on the confirmation of a cash offer.

Looking forward to the day that inevitable scenario happens here.

Gutted myself as i was eyeing this last week and didn't press 'buy'.

Grabbed some today as it would be ridiculous not too.

I almost feel sorry for him (and GateBoy for that matter).

Imagine being reduced to behaving in that manner because every 'argument' you thought you had has been proven empty.

''THE MOST CORRUPT COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION IN COMMERCIAL HISTORY”.

What was that you were saying about arms deals Bloomer? 👍

You're quite simply just way too EASY.

Oh dear...

Bloomer is losing the plot again. Another of his heroes taking a bashing from a poster who he has on ignore perchance?

For someone who supposedly cannot read my learned posts Bloomer, you have the uncanny ability to reply 'on topic'.

Are you also a 'visionary' or, as i suspect, are you just an imbecile?

DOH!

Gotta get that stock from somewhere...

“Mark Thatcher was trying to cash in on the Al-Yamamah deal . . . In the arms business we met many people, royal hangers on. We called them ‘Black Princes’ and sometimes they had to be bought off . . . Thatcher was acting in the same way, as a kind of British Black Prince, but it was surely not the proper role for a British prime minister’s son”

The SFO soon uncovered details of how BAE used shell companies to bribe members of the Saudi royal family and others to the tune of £6 billion in order to secure the deal. It was alleged that even the prime minister’s son Mark Thatcher was paid £12 million as a bribe, along with Prince Bandar bin Sultan, son of the Saudi Crown Prince, who received more than £1 billion.

But in a startling act of state intervention, the SFO’s investigation was halted in its tracks in 2006 by Tony Blair’s Government over “national security” concerns. It was a move the High Court ruled as unlawful and Nick Clegg, former Liberal Democrat leader, said appeared “like it was done to protect BAE sales by appeasing the Saudi government”.

'After months of negotiations in the 1980s, which included the Saudis being personally lobbied by then-prime minister MARGARET THATCHER, the UK secured the biggest arms deal in the country’s history.

Known as the al-Yamamah deal, the Saudis agreed to a multi-billion-pound order of Tornado and Hawk jets earning British defence giant BAE Systems at least £43 billion in revenue between 1985 and 2007.

It was a big success for the politicians and BAE but it was also, according to anti-arms trade campaigner Andrew Feinstein, “THE MOST CORRUPT COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION IN COMMERCIAL HISTORY”. Allegations of corruption spilled out soon after the deal was struck but it was a cache of documents leaked in the early 2000s that gave enough proof for Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to launch a major investigation.'

Conjures up memories of Mark Thatcher being handed suitcases stacked full of Saudi cash for weapons under dear old Maggie's (propped up by Murdoch) government
